Bureau Unit Secures Murder Indictment in Alleged Military Base Killing Case Against Airman

A special unit from the Bureau of Indian Affairs' Missing and Murdered Unit has secured a murder indictment against an active-duty airman accused of killing a missing Native American woman, Quinterius Chappelle. The investigation, which began as a cold case task force, helped bring charges against the suspect. Chappelle is expected to face trial in connection with his alleged role in the death. The unit's work aims to honor the memory and justice for victims of violence and exploitation faced by Native American communities.
